Silica diagenesis promotes early primary hydrocarbon migration

We present evidence that hydrocarbon source rocks can be preconditioned for primary hydrocarbon migration at an early stage of catagenesis by pore-scale processes linked to silica diagenesis. The evidence comes from a detailed petrographic and geochemical study of the Jordan Oil Shale (JOS), an imma...
